About Fordham All Saints CofE Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Fordham All Saints CofE Voluntary Controlled Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Colchester, and the first thing most parents will notice is the sheer demand for places. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 28 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.55. All 11 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, meaning that if you put it first, you had a good chance, but competition from outside that group was stiff. The school has 96 pupils on roll against a capacity of 115, so there is some physical room, but the popularity is clear. ParentView data isn't available here, but the oversubscription figures alone suggest strong local reputation. The school is led by headteacher Ceri Daniels and has a Church of England character, though it's a voluntary controlled school, meaning the local authority has a greater say in admissions and governance than in a voluntary aided school.
